HC Deb 12 July 1968 vol 768 c148W
Dr. John Dunwoody

asked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the recent fatal accidents, he will reduce the speed limit on Dracaena Avenue, Falmouth, from 40 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour.

Mr. Bob Brown

As I mentioned to my hon. Friend in a recent letter, any alteration of the speed limit on this length of road would be, in the first instance, the responsibility of the Cornwall County Council. I understand that the Borough Council intend to apply shortly for a lowering of the 40 m.p.h. limit and if the county council as highway authority then formally seek my right hon. Friend's consent, he will consider their proposal without delay.
